If one runs their CPU at 4 GHz, then under multi-threaded load, it may
hit 70C or so, frequency starts jumping all over (as it tries to keep
temperature under control), and sometimes the computer will crash.

To me that sounds more like inadequate cooling. When I last upgraded my
desktop together I ran Prime95 torture test for a few hours. Temperature
stabilized below where the CPU cores would throttle to cool down, which
was expected. No crashes or wrong results either. This is just a basic
game capable AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core system, I don't have logs of the
clock speeds or temps from back then.
